I have the old school one the V20 but is a brushed, model. I abused daylight out of it and still kick ass. I am thinking to get this 1/2" RP version. Is much smaller and lighter than what I using now. Thanks for the video.
more than meant for automotive the black ones are meant for impact tools, regardless of application. Chrome ones will likely get rounded up around the edges and/or break after taking repeated impacts from the hammering mechanism.
@@JohnVHLife chrome will work... but they are harder metal and will break and can be quite dangerous when on a impact. Impact (or black sockets) are softer and will not break dangerously if they do go. Using chrome on a impact won't kill you but extended use on a impact will make your chances of injury from one much higher.
Hey man I wouldn’t use chrome sockets on these guns, I have split far too many, when they split it’s usually in 3 different spots in a triangular pattern, when they split sometimes you won’t even know until it’s stripping the nut, only the end splits, the socket as a whole stays together, I would get impact socket set for general hand and gun use impact sockets work fine with hand ratchets but chrome does not work well with impact guns, just thought I’d save you a socket or two
Using a chrome socket with an adapter for 3/8 to 1/2 inch. You're losing so much torque. Spend $30 and get yourself the craftsman lug nut socket set. You'll have a better socket, the correct one for the job and you won't be losing torque.
Here’s a pro tip for impact guns, the further away from the anvil you get the less power is applied to the nut, so avoid using extensions and deep sockets if you are able to, if not use a stronger gun, those 1/2 to 3/8 adapters will lose torque to nut as well as most of the power goes to trying to break the adapter in half, also you are using chrome sockets which are hardened and weighted differently and not designed for impact use, weight and type of sockets do matter on an impact gun believe it or not, please do not review a product if you are using the totally wrong sockets adapters and extensions, using those things does not give accurate results
Impact sockets are slightly larger than their chrome counterparts, for example a 10 mm chrome will fit more snug on a bolt than a 10 mm impact socket, allowing the socket to have some free play to assist in the hammering, they are also not hardened steel, so it’s softer, doing less damage to socket and nut
I want to buy this one, I have Dewalt power tools, could someone ,tell me for sure if the Dewalt 20v batteries fit the Craftmann or refer me to a website where I can find out, thanks a lot.
The new RP brushless you would think it would have more torque for the impact wrench and both hammer drill and impact driver come on at least add more power as well

i cant believe you were driving on that damn tire lmao
It may have been a little past its prime. haha.
@@JohnVHLife still have the impact? i just picked up the exact same 1/2 RP. Haven't tried it yet. Thanks for the video since there aren't that many!!
@@jdub099 yep. Still use it!
Never use chrome sockets use the black sockets meant for automotive
haha, they work fine, no big deal.

@@luisinhoens90 Cool, I don't have impact ones for this, so these work great, and have for decades!

I don't think you would be having such difficulties if you were using 1/2 inch impact sockets instead of that adapter for your truck.
I’ve always knocked craftsmen don’t know why prob cause all the stuff I’ve heard just it being cheap but I might give it a shot
Craftsman new 3 year warranty is good the cheap brushes sawzall took a dump they sent me two before I bought the brushless one

Not only that but it eats up the socket at the anvil port

Does anyone know how much ft-lb does the speed 1 have?
Those f150 lug nuts suppose to be torqued to 150 lb ft
Hmm, I googled it and get 85tflbs, does the manual say 150? Thanks.
@@JohnVHLife yes it did, what year is your truck?
@@ms1406 2013
@@JohnVHLife yep 150ft lbs

I doubt they would cross over. Personally

yeah they're exactly the same specs.. just a different model and cosmetics..
I'm wondering will this impact drill take nuts off to change lawnmower blades?
If you use impact sockets it should. I got a big Milwaukee now for taking off the really tight stuff.
Get yourself a 6.0Ah battery for extra torque and performance. ✌🏻
Oh? I just might!
